A total of eightythree competition crews from five European countries took part in the start of the competition, fighting in the series of FIA CEZ rally championships, FIA CEZ historic cars, as well as in the Slovak and Polish championships, as well as the Slovak rally cup and the Slovak regularity rally trophy.
The districts of Košice and the surrounding remained in the 2nd degree of danger for this week - in burgundy color, so the organizers of the 47th Rally Košice must ensure compliance with several hygienic measures for their event. A Hygiene Manual has been issued for the participants of the competition, which must be accepted and followed.
89 competition crews from Slovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Estonia entered the 47th Rally Košice. In the beautiful, colorful colors of autumn, they have to take part in a two-stage competition, which will bring the names of the champions of Slovakia and Poland in individual classes. At the competition, we will no longer see certain absolute champions of Slovakia - Grzegorz Grzyb and Michal Poradzisz, whose vehicle has not yet been repaired after the last major accident.

Despite the fact that the Izra special stage has been used at the Rally Košice for more than thirty years, the administrators of this route changed their mind at the last minute and did not give their permission to use the road for this year.
Although the situation with the coronavirus is not developing the best, the organizers of the 47. Rally Košice are still working on the preparation of their competition. There are only 3 weeks left until the start.
Supplementary regulations are the most important and anticipated document at every event. The ones for the 47th Rally Košice have been published and bring a lot of important information.
After a one-year break caused by restrictions due to coronavirus, the 47th Rally Košice will take place in mid-October. The competition is prepared by its traditional organizer Auto klub Košice in cooperation with Automobilklub Rzeszowski.
At the jubilee 50th year of our Autoclub existence, for the first time in its history we must announce that the competition which we have been working on for six months and is well prepared, must be canceled. We are canceling the competition which was to be included in the Polish Championships again after a multi-year break, for which we have been trying to do for a long time, a competition that has the great support of the city of Košice and SAMŠ.
The reasons for our difficult decision are on two levels:
Three weeks before the start of the 46th Rally Košice, the organizers are still working hard on its preparation. They already have most of the permits in their hands and are still catching up with the necessary number of people or printed materials.
The 50th anniversary of the Auto Klub Košice existence will be celebrated by its representatives at the domestic 46. Rally Košice competition. It will take place on 15.-18. October 2020 as the last competition of the Slovak and Polish rally championships and will traditionally be included in the FIA Central European Zone Championship.
